So, if you live in a constant state of mud and muck, you too would be excited about a pile of rock. Until I moved to the country, I never realized how much I would notice the lack of concrete. Especially in the Pacific Northwest, when you combine rain, dirt, animals, people and vehicles… you get mud, and lots of it.

Last night we spotted the gravel truck delivering a truckload of rock to our neighbor. We were quick to jump in and ask for a load ourselves. While most of this will end up in our driveway, we will also slowly spread the gravel love all over our property to firm up ground where ours and our animals’ feet parade often.
